House Design

We went through two major redesigns (a luxe over the top house complete with pilates studio and library followed by a tiny yet delightful cabin with curtains separating bedrooms) before finally deciding to build three pavilions with a connecting semi-covered spine on the south. 




Lots of people think us crazy for having semi outdoor connections between rooms in a cold climate however we have visions of fox skin cloaks hanging at the doors (Brent designed a niche for such beside each door) for those bitter nights and it would be harder if we lived there all winter. Besides, what gave us the courage to take this bold step was to have excellent heating in all the house: going from a warm room to a warm room, cloaked in fur seems, if anything, damn sexy.





Takt's delightful new website has images of the house model and gives an insight into their design process.
